How to create random student groups

Here are three tech tools you can use to place students in randomly assigned groups:

1. Team Maker http://chir.ag/projects/team-maker/ - paste in your class list*, choose the number of teams desired.
   
   
   
2. Round Robin Tournament Generator http://www.teamopolis.com/tools/round-robin-generator.aspx - designed for sports events, but works great if you want each student in your class to be paired with every other student (each "round" in the tournament represents the next time you do pairing in class). You can paste in your class list, or just use numbers.
   
   
   
3. Moodle- go to Groups in the Administration block and click Auto-create Groups. You can set either the group size or the number of groups. No need to paste in names, because Moodle already has them!
